DEIMOS
And in your darkest hour,

Changes and alterations in proportions meant he had time to experiment and explore on venues he’d be unlikely to once ramble within. But the Sword wanted it without the mountains, without the backdrop of prying eyes or sneering features, and so after his ventures with Oliver, he opted for preambles and preludes into the Greatwood.
Belial beckoned close and fast, while Zuriel meandered behind. The peryton had never been immersed within the wood, and the unicorn knew it well from years, cycles, and seasons before, when sometimes pressing their feet into the forest floor was all they’d known beyond the barrier. For now though, Deimos kept his eyes on the ground, rather than the air, or the winding pathways. Now was a time he craved existences of those like D’art or Zikar-Sin, who knew their way around his inquiries and intervals, and would’ve done so without question, without fail. Instead, he might be left to his own devices, and these weren’t battlefield measures. They were dastardly and covert; no swinging of a blade, no flaring of fire. A lack of education, on the layers built between bile, vitriol, and venom. So they walked, deeper and deeper, until he crouched beside brambles and nettles of unknown herbs, perplexed, nose wrinkled, lacking in the knowledge necessary to identify, to know exactly what he craved. master of nothing place; of recoil and grace |

There are no incurable diseases Ray had made an impromptu trip to the Greatwood. While stocking up on her necessary supplies, she'd run low on one found nearby. Although she could have waited for the next shipment, she found herself to hand-pick these herbs. They were more delicate then most and would likely be destroyed in transit by unprofessional hands. And so Ray found herself walking along a path in the Wildwood, eyes sweeping the ground for the telltale leaves. She was looking for a particular type of basil that aided in blood pressure. With how stressed everyone had been lately, Ray had been going through her stock quickly. It was as the herbalist was turning a bend that she saw a figure. Now at first she was wary, but then she noticed what the man was crouched over. Eyes going wide with alarm, she raced over. "Stop! Step back! Don't touch that plant!" The man was crouched over a type of stinging nettle called gympie, a plant dangerous to even touch. Only the lack of will Ray the Resurrected Sword

There are no incurable diseases Seeing the man back up was a relief and Ray slowed her pace. She walked over to the man, hand on her knees to catch her breath. She had sprinted like her life depended on it. Once she caught her self she waved off his apology. "You're good. I'm just glad you didn't touch it. You didn't did you?" Her eyes ran over him worriedly. Seeing no apparent sign of injury, she answered his question. "Yes, it's very dangerous. It's a type of stinging nettle called gympie. It's a variety that has a potent neurotoxin in it. It attacks your nerves and causes excruciating pain for days, sometimes even lasting months. It's even killed people before." Ray explained swiftly. Calming down she then recognized the man. "Oh. Deimos right? From doll-making? Nice to see you again. I'm Ray. Remember me?" Only the lack of will Ray the Resurrected Sword

There are no incurable diseases Ray nodded, examining his hands until she was sure he was ok. Relieved, she relaxed. "The lethal cases are when people end up having an allergic reaction. Most other people are in just a hell of a lot of pain thankfully. But the main thing to do for your typical case is to remove the fine hairs with tweezers or something sticky like wax. You want to get them out without jostling them too much. The deeper they go into the skin, the more painful and harder they are to remove." Ray gave the plant a wary look, as if expecting it to attack. Ray was pleased that he remembered her. "I'm out collecting herbs. Specifically a type of basil, but anything else of use." Her voice grew grim. "I'm trying to stock up on everything an anything before the war fully breaks out." Determination flashed in her eyes. "I don't want to let someone die just because I didn't have enough of a vital plant." Only the lack of will Ray the Resurrected Sword

There are no incurable diseases Ray gave a small shrug. "Somewhat. It mostly prevents worsening pain. The pain won't stop just because you remove the spines. The neurotoxin would have already been injected." She explained as concisely as she could. Ray had found that long drawn out explanations seldom got the point across for those unfamiliar with herbs. Ray was mildly surprised that he admitted her expertise in the area but didn't outwardly comment. But the concept of being able to use one's magic to create elixirs was fascinating. "That sounds incredibly useful if the knowledge is there. But you'll still likely have to do some prep work on ingredients before combining them." She regarded Deimos for a moment, sizing up his hinted at motives and intentions. "If you want I can give you a hand? Granted, if you're planning on making a weapon, just give me a bit of context. So I don't get caught off guard later." She smirked. "The last thing I want is my own knowledge and work being used against me." Only the lack of will Ray the Resurrected Sword

Ray
Every breath, Ray nodded in agreement of his proposed trade. "Deal." It was a fair enough offer. As for the possible uses and purposes that Deimos outlined, they seemed reasonable enough. Even though the talk of war was far too open-ended. Ray was a woman who kept the secrets of all manner of characters. So even though she caught the slight subtext, it didn't bother her. He'd agreed to her terms and that was enough for the information broker in her.is a giveaway dance Ray had almost been expecting inquires about poisons and other forms of lethality. To hear him ask about sleeping potions was a surprise, but not an unwelcome one. They were certainly useful in war if one did not wish to kill their enemy. "I can actually. There are numerous plants that can be used for sleeping potions and draughts of varying strength. It depends on your goal as to which plants and how much." Ray noted.

A panther in the night, Ray smiled mischievously, one brow raised. "Alright then. This'll be fun." She removed her bag and pulled out a few empty vials, each about the size of a finger. She also pulled out her sketchbook and began to draw. "So the main ingredient is poppy actually You know the plant with the beautiful red flowers? This one?" Ray turned her sketchbook towards Deimos, depicting a basic diagram of a poppy plant and flower. "We're going after the seed pods, the buds. If you make an incision in one, a sap comes out. That's what we're collecting." A fire burning bright Ray then jotted down a basic recipe of ingredients, handing it to Deimos. "We'll then mix the sap with honey, water, and lemon zest. The end result will be basically a soothing tea. A tea that will knock them out for a few hours." She explained but then her expression grew grim. "We need to be careful. I know you don't want to give me details, but you'll need to give me basics such as he age and approximate weight of your targets. If we put too much in the tea, it could kill them. Giving me some basic info will make sure that we only put enough to make them sleep for a bit and then wake up groggy later." the only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existance becomes an act of rebellion -Albert Camus the Resurrected Sword

Ray
A panther in the night, Ray was pleasantly surprised when Deimos started taking notes and copying her diagrams. It soothed her conscience a bit to know that he was taking this seriously. Taking her warnings seriously. She took his offered sheet of calculations, giving it a thorough look over. Taking her pencil she wrote down the lowest effective dosage for each. The less they used, the better. A fire burning bright "Looks good." She noted before turning another serious look towards the Sword. "This stuff can become addictive, easily. You need to give the lowest effective dosage. I've written it down, including how many times max you can give each individual a dosage. And how far in-between. But do your best to restrict it to one dose per person. Three is the absolute, absolute max. And never more than one dose a day. NEVER. Otherwise they'll be at high risk for addiction. This stuff is potent." She paused for a moment, giving him a chance to write down what he needed before continuing on. "This stuff is also a painkiller so they'll likely have some of those typical side effects besides grogginess." Ray's eyes narrowed. "If other symptoms occur, they're at an incredibly high risk of addiction. Possibly already on that route. Those symptoms are things such as mood swings, depression, euphoria, confusion, nausea, etc.. And anything else out of the ordinary. If this happens, you will NOT give them any more doses and you Will bring them to me. And I Will kick your ass if you don't." Ray knew she likely wouldn't be physically able to do so, but she sure as hell would try. Ray was doing her best to ensure he understood how volatile this substance was. How making a potion as effective as he needed had serious risks. She wanted Deimos to understand and be responsible with this, no matter what his goals were. the only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existance becomes an act of rebellion -Albert Camus | ||||||
